Thanks!

heh, I we should check if Firefox actually supports these things... I don't know who is feeding caniuse this data - pretty certain we don't support the whole spec.

See the (more-granular) BCD data:

…that at least correctly shows several members of NetworkInformation aren’t implemented in Android Firefox.

Can I Use should probably be updated to show Android Firefox only has partial support.

ReSpec also supports "mdn": true... so that data should also show up inline. Will check.

@sideshowbarker, ok, enabled mdn data (give it the ol' shift-refresh)... now get a better view of things at a more granular level.

@marcoscaceres This reminds me that I’ve been meaning to suggest an enhancement to the MDN annotations generated by Respec: We can add an implementation-status indicator to the collapsed MDN buttons. Take a look at https://wicg.github.io/webusb/#device-usage

The (Bikeshed-generated) MDN annotations there shout pretty loudly (maybe too loudly…) that USBDevice is only implemented in one engine.

Then for comparison, go to https://drafts.csswg.org/css-logical-1/#caption-side and scroll down. The implementation-status indicators in the MDN annotations there are pretty useful. The CSS Logical Properties and Values spec is a mix of features at varying levels of implementation maturity: some implemented in all engines, some in two engines, and some only in one engine. A reader can get a pretty quick sense of which are which just with quick scroll through the spec.

Due to the baroque complexity of BCD status data for some features, programatically identifying whether a particular browser currently supports a particular feature requires some work. But I’ve already done that work — three times: Once in Free Pascal (for the HTML spec) and once in Python (for Bikeshed) and once also in JavaScript (for https://github.com/w3c/mdn-spec-links).

We could re-use the same algorithm for Bikeshed — and probably also copy over the JavaScript code for it that I already have. I’ve been meaning to write a Bikeshed patch for it, but haven’t managed to get around to it quite yet.

@sideshowbarker, oh, that's awesome... I'll copy/paste the above to a ReSpec bug. Maybe we can convince @sidvishnoi to sneak that in :)
